Quick report
- Collapsing
- Observed
Today, we rode into Tepee Basin. We enjoyed sunny, calm weather and 8” - 10” of new snow from Monday.
We observed a dry loose avalanche in steep, rocky terrain. Probably from earlier this week.
We found in many spots large surface hoar crystals (10-15mm).
Our ECT results around 9000’ didn’t show any propagation (ECTN16, ECTN22 on north and ECTN15 on south aspect).
On south facing, sun exposed slopes, we found a thick crust underneath the new snow (2-3”).
